What is Push Technology??

Push Technology is something quite common that most people will use on a day to day basis without realising it. If you were to subscribe or sign up to an information server, when new content is published, the subscriber will receive notifications. Examples of this can been seen in places such as; social networking sites i.e. Facebook, Twitter who send notifications when you are tagged in posts/tweets/photos; YouTube can send a notification if a channel you subscribe posts any new videos; news applications on smart phones send updates news stories; sports applications for smart phones will send updates on scores and game results; and even Email can use push technology if it is sync’d with a smartphone.
